Traditional Kung Fu, also known as Chinese martial arts, refers to a wide range of fighting styles that have developed over centuries in China. It is a comprehensive system that involves not only physical techniques but also philosophical teachings, mental discipline, and spiritual development.
The term “Kung Fu” (功夫) translates to “skill achieved through hard work,” and it emphasizes mastery gained through dedication and practice. Kung Fu incorporates various elements such as strikes, kicks, joint locks, throws, and grappling techniques. These movements are often combined with intricate forms or “kata,” which are sequences of techniques performed in a set pattern to develop coordination, balance, and strength.
